A physician’s insider look at the failure of modern medicine—and how you can protect yourself from it.

Dr. Joel Mascaro spent 57 years practicing, teaching, and mentoring in a healthcare system that promises healing but often delivers harm.

In A Bitter Pill, he exposes how we got here—from the corrupting influence of money and bureaucracies to the hollowing out of fundamental true health values.

This is more than a critique. It’s a call to action.

The system won’t fix itself. But you can protect yourself from it.

Inside You'll learn:

  • How to break free from unnecessary medication and avoid being overprescribed

  • Why your doctor might be following an inefficient system—without even realizing it

  • How to take control of your own health with actionable steps toward wellness

  • What needs to change in medical education and healthcare policy

Whether you’re a patient searching for answers, a student entering medicine, or a practitioner who feels something’s off, A Bitter Pill offers hope—and a plan.
